Amazon.com Product Description
Set sail with confidence and style to points unknown with this classic Omega Seamaster stainless steel men's Swiss quartz movement watch, a highly accurate timepiece that's as comfortable negotiating deals in the boardroom as it is navigating the breaking seas. It's also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (1000 feet), screw-down helium release valve at 10 o'clock, and easy-to grasp rotating bezel--even with wet suit gloves. Definitively masculine in design, it features a large, round silver stainless steel watch case that blends brushed and polished surfaces and measures 41mm (1.61 inches) wide and 11.5mm (0.45 inches) deep. This watch includes an aluminum unidirectional rotating bezel black with silver engraved ten-minute marks (in large Arabic numerals).

The black dial background is accented by a Geneva wave pattern and it includes large, luminous Dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and baton dial markers, as well as a window at 3 o'clock for the date display. Other features include a screw-in caseback, screw-locked crown, 44-hour power reserve, and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal. It's completed by a silver stainless steel link bracelet band that offers polished highlights, which is joined by a secure, push-button clasp. This adjustable band measures 7 inches in length.

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

A fool for the beauty of it, I purchased this Omega just short of a year ago. Thought I would have it for life. It stopped working last month after a day of simple recreational diving (and no, I did not open the helium-release valve). Today I heard from the Omega-listed customer service center that it would cost more than $1000.00 to repair. A 300 meter dive watch that didn't last 30? Please.... What use is a "warranty", if it will still cost more than half the original price to repair? Is this the level of customer service you would expect at this price? Not for most people, I would expect. This has nothing to do with the good service at Amazon. This has everything to do with Omega not standing behind their product. What a disappointment!

I bought a Omega thinking it high quality. It stopped functioning in less than 9 months.
Because I had not bought it through a "Qualified dealer" they would not repair it. Basically said screw you.
As far a I am concerned I would never purchase anything from Omega.


5 out of 5 stars Simply the best December 29, 2007

This is simply the best watch IMO, that being said, not sure how many folks would actually want to go diving and potentially scratch/damage their Omega.

Fit and finish is absolutly perfect, the bold face, wavy background and simple yet stunning lines are only appreciated by true watch lovers. Many folks think $1K+ is too much for any watch, they are simply wrong.

On the flip note, I do have a Seiko dive watch SKX173 (also a fantastic watch)... that I do not mind banging and possibly damaging again, price does matter when it comes to rough sports.

My TAG diver is also very nice but nothing compares to the Omega.

This watch definitely lives up to it's reputation. Great looking watch but still functional for every-day use. Amazon offered the best price too!

I have to say this watch is gorgeous. When you're wearing it and look down it looks like it's worth at least two times the price. I bought the quartz one because it's not a daily watch for me. I definitely would reccomend this watch before jumping to a rolex because it's quite comparable. The waves on the watch gives it a razor sharp look which is unique to the omega brand.
